Chapter 194

“Stephie… I’m not mad at you,” Steven suddenly said.

“You forgot about me, but I’m not blaming you,” he spoke again.

For some reason, tears welled up in my eyes.

I couldn’t hold them back, and I didn’t even know why I was crying.

“Stephie… Please don’t cry.” Steven awkwardly wiped away my tears and pulled me into

his embrace. “Stephie, it’s all in the past now. Can you give me another chance?”

“Steven, I’ll get to know you again,” I whispered.

“Alright,” he said, sounding pleased.

It seemed like things were finally getting better. Everything was going to be alright.

I wasn’t sure if Steven was aware of this or if he would lend a hand. But she was Simeon’s sister, after all.

Steven paused for a moment, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes. “You went to see her?”

I nodded.

“Don’t trust a word she says. Stay away from her.” Steven looked nervous as he held my face. “Stephie, from now on, don’t trust anyone but me.”
